E-classroom Support

E-CLASSROOM INFORMATION

At Rhode Island College, most electronic classrooms and teaching labs are equipped with multimedia devices to enhance presentation. Currently, the College has over 160 electronic classrooms distributed across the campus. We group the electronic classrooms and labs by a level to help identify what type of equipment is in a particular room. We currently have 5 levels (0-4). There are also five auditorium facilities which are equipped with multimedia and other technology related equipment. We ask you to assist us by reserving electronic classrooms only when you intend to use the special equipment on a regular basis.
